Hi

I have a problem and i can't figure it out. How can you add a particle emitter to the torso of the players and the other question is how can i only activate the particle emitter when the player is running on walkspeed 30?

Here is what i got

local speed = Instance.new("ParticleEmitter",game.Workspace.player.Torso)
speed.Texture = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=281983189"
speed.Size= NumberSequence.new(3)
speed.LightEmission = 1
speed.Color = ColorSequence.new(100, 11, 11)
speed.Acceleration = 1,1,1
speed.Lifetime = NumberRange.new(1)
speed.Speed.Value = 5

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local char = plr.Character

local hum = char.Humanoid

hum.Running:connect(function(speed)
    if speed > 30 then

    -- DO STUFF:

    else

    -- DO STUFF:

    end
end

That would be the solution to your problem.

I hope with this you can set up and adapt your script to it.

Remember Humanoid has a Running event.

Yeah, if speed > 30 then is for when the character is running, and you put the stuff u want to happen there so it triggers when the character runs, the else block is when the character doesn't run. So it triggers when he's standing still. iDarkGames 483 — 8y

It's a localscript, and normally localscripts go in StarterGui / StarterPack / StarterCharacterScripts / StarterPlayerScripts. iDarkGames 483 — 8y
